It was always an ambition to write and publish something. So I turned my ANZ redundancy into an opportunity by weaving what happened into my first book.

It tells the story of everything I’ve learned about real estate the hard way.

I used the drafting process to develop hands-on AI proficiency and had my buddy Claude:

• do enormous amounts of first-order research into the best places to invest in Australian property

• take on the role of my professional editor (a task it did brilliantly)

• critically analyse each chapter for its flaws and weaknesses

• brainstorm approaches to address and fix all weaknesses

• advise me on the likely impact of proposed emotional hooks

• help me clarify and explore my narrative arc

• act in the role of author and interviewer and ask me what it needed to know

“How to Buy Property with Your Super: A Short, Simple Australian SMSF Property Investing Guide” will be the second in the series, coming later in 2026.

I really enjoy the topic. And I’m finding there isn’t much good material out there yet.
